148 148

TSM-15-12 The TSM15 Smart Series Module has a color touch screen digital display providing readouts for Actual Temperature, Current Mode, Percentage Power and Current Reading. Closed-loop, fuzzy logic PID control, and auto-tuning of PID parameters provide precise control even under the most adverse processing conditions. In the event of a thermocouple failure, the TSM can automatically invoke bumpless transfer to a percent power mode based on the last valid percentage learned before the thermocouple failure. If desired, manual bumpless transfer may be selected, in which case a thermocouple fault will turn off power to the heater until the manual percent power mode is activated by the operator. The TSM boost level option limits boosting of the temperature by 75°C or 135°F to limit the degradation of material. The TSM module also includes a Smart Start ® mode to safely bake out damaging internal heater moisture at system start-up and to prolong heater life. Fast or slow load modes may also be selected to protect smaller heaters or compensate for “slow” loads such as externally heated manifolds. An accurate, durable and full-featured module, the TSM is fully compatible with all Smart Series or G-Series ® 15 AMP mainframes.

When reconfiguring your controller for a new tool or environment, this chapter of the manual shows how to alter controller default settings to your preferred values and afterward to save them. Should anything seem wrong with your new settings then it is possible to restore the default settings at any time.
